Travis Kelce questionable to return with ankle injury

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Falcons with an ankle injury.

Travis Kelce entered Sunday's Week 10 game against the Falcons with a previous ankle injury. Despite the team's awareness of his condition, Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams immediately targeted that vulnerability. During the Chiefs' opening drive, Patrick Mahomes connected with Kelce on a 23-yard reception. Hellams managed to make a difficult tackle to obstruct what could have been a significant play.

However, Hellams' finish was questionable, as it appeared he grasped Kelce's ankle and twisted it during the tackle. This action was likely intended to twist Kelce's ankle, which enraged the Chiefs tight end. Kelce nearly retaliated by attempting to kick Hellams. The incident raised concerns among observers, including Kevin Knight (@FalcoholicKevin), who commented on the potential intent behind Hellams' tackle.

Before the subsequent Chiefs drive, Kelce was escorted to the locker room with trainers following the unfortunate incident. Travis Kelce and Jared Wiley both left the game with injuries.
